## Streamlink (browserless)

Streamlink is a command-line utility to pipe video streams from Twitch and a few other platforms (including YouTube) into your desired desktop player, like VLC or mpv. I have never tested it, since I don't watch livestreams, but sounds like a great idea (unix principle and all)
